reviews: Not everibody can buy a good macro lens for hundreds of thousands of dollars. For them, for beginners it is a good compromise to try these close up filters. Of course, you cannot compare the results with the results of a macro lens, but as you find the limits of this kit, you can make acceptable, or in some cases pretty good macros. Of course in some cases you will need to deal with chromatic aberations. To have a taste of the macro photography, withouth spending a lot of money, it is a good choice.
